Well, with Christmas over, I finally got to sit down and finish reading Robert's novel. With working on possible book covers, I was pressed for time and was only able to read specific sections of the book in order to gain ideas for the cover art. I finally finished reading it.

Robert has crafted an inspiring story of how two brothers can suffer the same past, but end up following two separate life paths. The spiritual quality of this story is marvelous. As I read various chapters of…

He is an orphan raised by a Tibetan mystic known only as the Nameless One. As an Occult Detective he has no equal and is called upon by the authorities when they are challenged by supernatural mysteries. One of the more obscure pulp characters, Ravenwood – The Stepson of Mystery appeared as a back-up feature in the pages of Secret Agent X magazine. There were only…

Amulet is a really good YA graphic novel. I am jumping into the story a little late with book three, but so what, this is just fun. I want to get all the info out of the way first that way we can just discuss the graphic novel and enjoy ourselves.

“In the third installment of the thrilling Amulet series, Emily, Navin, and their crew of resistance fighters charter an airship and set off in search of Cielis, a mythical city believed to be located…

I know it isn’t Saturday, and yes I am happy to admit that The Sanibel Slouch by A.J. Pompano is the first read on my new Kindle. Am I trying to brag? No, I am fortunate to have received it as a gift from my children. What I am trying to do is bring this blog and my reading habits up to speed. I had plenty of doubts about whether I was going to enjoy using this device to read. I mean to not hold a book in my hands and enjoy it. I have to say it was a win-win for me as I got…

I think I got this one right; it is Wednesday. Earlier today we had a guest post by Travis Hiltz on some graphic novel history (we usually reserve that for Friday) and tomorrow I am putting up a digital short story post we usually pop in on Saturday. Go figure, short week and another awesome holiday, Happy New Year to everyone; I hope you enjoy your festivities.

Hi, my name's Karl Larew. I'm a semi-retired history professor at Towson University, specializing in military history and philosophy of history. I have six novels on Amazon.com/Kindle; one of them is also on Barnes and Noble (Nook) and Smashwords. I'm talking about "Candles in the Window," a psychological study of the sex/love lives of a bunch of college students at the University of Connecticut in the 1950s. Feeling the generation gap, they form an artificial family for mutual…

Quick history lesson: Jack Kirby (hallowed be thy name!) was one of the men who helped to create Marvel Comics. From 1960 until early 1970 he wrote and drew hundreds of Marvel’s most well known characters.…

I am not a big vampire guy and really don’t read that much of the genre. My saying anything about this being a typical vampire novel would be incorrect and impolite. What this novel is though, is just plain flat out fun and a very good read. The Radleys try to be the every neighbor, the middle of the road couple, the average family, but they are anything but that; they
are abstaining vampires. Fun, frivolity, family soap opera, fast paced action
are what…

When you've got time to curl up on the sofa and remain uninterrupted for awhile, pick up Kris Sedersten's new book, Mojo - a mystery-thriller with mind-griping paranormal overtones. In "good versus evil" thrillers, Mojo is one that you won't want to put down until you turn that very last page - and you might discover that you've been holding your breath for awhile.

For me, it’s hard to find compelling Christian fiction that can hold my interest. I became a fan of Tosca Lee when I met her about a year ago at a writer’s meeting and purchased a copy of Havah: The Story of Eve. Havah opened my eyes to how beautifully Christian fiction could be written without coming off preachy. In the same lines of Ted Dekker, Tosca knows how to
write compelling fiction…
